Tastier than salmon. This is why you should include this fish more often in your meals

While Christmas is mainly associated with carp and herring, these aren't the only options. There are many interesting alternatives to consider. Why should you consider them? First, to introduce variety in the kitchen and secondly, trying a new recipe is a chance to discover entirely new flavors.

But that's just the beginning. When choosing a fish, its nutritional values are also important. Surprisingly, there is one type of fish that possesses huge potential in this regard. Despite not being very popular, we're about to change that. Our fish of choice must feature on this year's holiday table, without question.

Among the many fish available in the market, today I would like to persuade you to try hoki. It's not only tasty, but also contains a few calories. In fact, 3.5 ounces of hoki has approximately 75 calories, allowing you to indulge without guilt. Additionally, it has only a few bones, making it a pleasure to eat.

The meat of hoki is lean, white, and very delicate. It's ideal for preparing a variety of dishes, so you certainly won't run out of ideas for using this fish in your kitchen.

Apart from its delicious taste and ease of preparation, hoki also surpasses other fish in terms of its health benefits. It's a very nutritious fish, packed with valuable vitamins like A, B group, D3, and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, and iron. Naturally, hoki is also an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

Hoki is truly an exceptional fish which makes working with it in the kitchen a pure pleasure. Its versatility allows you to bake, fry, steam, or braise it comfortably. There is nothing stopping it from being a highlight on your Christmas Eve table. You can use it to prepare fish à la grecque, among other dishes.

Before we part ways, do let me know which fish most frequently graces your holiday table. Is it the traditional carp? Or perhaps a totally different kind of fish?
